OUR DAILY BREAD.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has Il
gans upon the measure of health we en-
joy. How important to our present hap
piness and future usefulness the blessing
of good health and a sound constitution
are, we can only realize when we have
lost them, and when it is too late to re-
pair tho damage. Notwithstanding these
facts, thousands of persons daily jeop-
ardize not only their health, but their
lives. and the healths and lives of others,
by using articles in the preparation of
their food the purity aud healthfuln"ss
of which they know nothing. Perhaps II
few cents may have been saved, or it may
have been more convenient to obtain the
articles used, and the housekeeper takes
the responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been
wrought. Paterfamilias may have spells
of headache, the children may have lost
their appetites, look pale; if so, the true
cause is rarely suspected. The weather,
the lack of outdoor air, or some other
cause is given, and the unwhOlesome
poisonous system of adulterated food goes
on. Next to the -four, which should be
made of good, sound wheat and not
ground too fine, the yeast or baking pow
der, which furnishes the rising properties,
is of the greatest Importance, and of the
two we prefer baking powder, and
always use the Royal. as We thereby
retain the original properties of the
wheat, no fermentation taking place.
The action of the Royal Baking Powder
upon the dough is simply to swell it and
form little cells through every part
l hese cells are filled with cdrbouic acid
gas, which passes off during the process
of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid, and it is the action of this acid
upon highly carbonized bicarbonato of
soda that generates the gas alluded to,
and these ingredients are so pure and SO
perfectly fitted, tested and adapted to
each other, that the action is mild and
permanent, and is continued during the
whole time of baking, and no residue of
pOisinous ingredients remains to under
mine the health, no heavy biscuits, no
sour bread, but if directions are followed,
every article will be found sweet and
wholesome.

A Bad Negro,
lclarksville Democrat.l


Jno. Skinner, alias Jno, Cox, alias
Jno. Henry, the young negro brute
who shot Ballard Fourquean near
aopkinsville, KY, Nov. 81, is still at
large. The day after the crime was
committed he boarded the passenger
train at Belle, on the l., A. & T., and
came TO Clarksville, and as he was
not suspected at that time, returned
on tho evening train. From Bells he
proceeded TO Geo. Registers about
Ave miles across the country, and
finding Mr.. Registers span Of horses
in the barn, proceeded deliberately
TO harness them, and seating himself
in the buggy, he drove back to Bells
where his brother-in-law is EN-
ployed. After this little social visit
he returned 10 Mr.. Registers where
he tied the horses to fence.
Friday night two young men,
whose names we withhold, learning
of this visit went to his brother-in-
law and demanded information as to
his whereabouts. They learned from
him that Skinner would be at Cher
RVS Station on the following morn
Ing. Accordingly they boarded the
train, taking his brother-in-laws with
them to identity him. AS the train
was passing the section house at the
end of the West Fork trestle, Skinner
was seen standing in the door. The
train was stopped, but he evidently
knew that he was spotted, and took
to his heels, both young men In full
pursuit. They followed him up the
creek for two hundred yards, firinO
upon him several times. Finally he
dashed into the water up TO his waisI
and clambersd up the opposite bank
where he coolly pulled off his heavy
boots in sight Of his pursusrs, wht
fired on him again. He then escaped
into the woods and had disappeared
when the young men effected cross
ling. He Is still at large, and avowl
his intention of not being taken. HI
is armed with brace Of revolvers
and has made dangerous threats
against several individuals, and hi
character warrants the assertion tina
he viii carry thsm out If an oppor
tunity presents itself. lie is dan
gerous nuisance, and menace to tn
peace Of the community. A reward
Of $3.50 has been offered for his arres
and apprehension.

Surprised Mourners.

OAKLAND, ILL, Nov. 30.-Last
night Mrs. Able, wife of farmer
living a short distance south of this
place, died, 20 all appearances. The
funeral was arranged for tomorrow,
and to-day the body was placed in a
coffin and prepared for burial. The
sorrow stricken relatives of the sup
posed deceased woman had assem-
bled in the house, when Mrs. Able
suddenly returned TO consciousness
and sat up in the coffin. On realiz-
ing her surroundings she tainted
away, and while unconscious was
carried to bed. A doctor was sent
for and shortly afterward Mrs. Able
gave birth to 4 male child. She and
the baby are both doing well, but the
happy father and husband
has not yet recovered from the excite
ment incident to the affair.

THE PuRPoRTED RAILROAD
DEAL.
Official Denial Of the Rumor that
the 0. Y. has Sold Out to the
L. and N. "


Articles have appeared this week in
nearly all the State papers implying,
or stating as fact, that the L. Il
N. had consummated trade with the
o. V. by which the latter had been
absorbed and merged into the L. and
N. system. To correct the impress
sions that have gone forth, and to re-
lieve from anxiety those who gave
credence TO this news, which, II true,
would be in the nature of a calamity,
we assert that we are in a position to
state positively and absolutely that so
far as the officials of the o. V. are
concerned there is no truth whatever
in these assertions. Furthermore, we
may add that we know of negotia-
tons now pending looking to an i'm
mediate southwark extension of the
o. V. road. The Ohio Valley, like
the L. and N, or any other road for
the matter OF that, is always In the
market, but unless we are mistaken
1t will take long purse to induce
the present owners to part with their
property.
The officials and projectors of the
o. V. are entirely satisfied with the
condition Of the road. Outside an
offer, as we have stated, of tempt
ingly large bonus on their investment,
they have no reason for selling out
but many valid reasons why they
should retain possession. One In.
centive to the building of this road
was to develop the rich DsKoven
coal fields. The stockholders in the
road are likewise owners of the De-
Koven mines, and were the road To
pass into other hands their aim to
give an inexpensive outlet to this
coal would be defeated, and the coal
company left to the mercy Of the
new engagement.
Nothing is at present further from
tho aim or desire Of o. V. owners
than 10 dispose Of their line. The
road from the first time 4 transporta-
ton car ran over 1t has been pay
ing Investment, and has continued
SO in increasing ratio ever since. The
earnings Of the road, II we may be-
Iieve old railroad men, have been a.
great as those Of any railroad in thii
country at its first building. The
o. v. road 10 acknowledged to DO
magnificent road as far as it now ex-
tends it has men at the head Of its
affairs who can appreciate, as well
as others, the value Of their proper
| ~, and unless purchaser present
himself who is prepared to offer ve',y
great inducements the road viii re-
main in its present hands and event
ually become a great thoroughfare.

A Few Observations.

Five of the prohibition cases were
tried last week and the result was an
acquittal in each Of the cases. The
parties tried wero indicted by the last
grand jury and demanded trial,
claiming that they could not give
bond. County Attorney Payne took
the ground that they could give bail
if they choose TO and that the county
court only had Jurisdiction when bail
could not be given. This point was
over-ruled by the court and the trials
were entered into, with the result
set forth in our news columns. When
the second lot Of cases were called
Saturday Mr.. Payne asked for a
country jury who had not heard the
previous trial talked about on the
streets, but this point was also over
ruled and the court instructed the
sheriff TO summon panel of sober
and discreet housekeepers," without
regard to where they resided. Judge
Winfree has adhered strictly to the
law in all his rulings and County
Attorney Payne has faithfully met
the requirements Of his office. The
accused parties have employed strong
legal talent to defend them and they
are backed by a large number Of
friends and sympathizers who attend
the trials and show their interest in
them by laughing at every alleged
witticism perpetrated at the expense
Of the prohibition law, and manifest
ing their approval of every point
made by the attorneys for thedefense.
On the other hand there 10 but little
active interest being taken by the
friends of prohibition. But few Of
them are 10 be seen about the court
house aud even when they are
summoned 10 serve on the jury they
show a disinclination to do so and try
in every possible way to avoid SER
vice. There is no moral support be-
ing given to the county attorney in
his efforts to secure convictions. No
prohibitionist lawyer has volunteer
ed to assist him. nor has the lo.called
T,aw and Order Club IA vet taken
hand in the prosecutions. The cases
now on trial may be taken as 4 fair

the now law and the county's power
